The High Computing Revitalization Task Force (HECRTF) was established
in March 2003 to perform the tasks described in the following text that
appears on page 177 in the Research and Development chapter of the FY
2004 Budget of the U.S. Government Analytical Perspectives:
"Due to its impact on a wide range of federal agency missions ranging
from national security and defense to basic science, high end computing—or
supercomputing —capability is becoming increasingly critical. Through
the course of 2003, agencies involved in developing or using high end
computing will be engaged in planning activities to guide future investments
in this area, coordinated through the NSTC. The activities will include
the development of interagency R&D roadmap for high-end computing
core technologies, a federal high-end computing capacity and accessibility
improvement plan, and a discussion of issues (along with recommendations
where applicable) relating to federal procurement of high-end computing
systems. The knowledge gained for this process will be used to guide future
investments in this area. Research and software to support high end computing
will provide a foundation for future federal R&D by improving the
effectiveness of core technologies on which next-generation high-end computing
systems will rely."
